Connecticut weekend

This past weekend, we were lucky enough to visit our friends' cabin in Connecticut. Alex and I are usually huge wusses about winter, but, inspired by our friends, we decided to embrace it. We built roaring fires, ate French toast and bacon for breakfast, chopped wood, went cross-country skiing, threw the toddlers in the bath together, and later comforted crying kids on hikes because their hands were too cold and rushed them back to the warm car—all in all, a real country weekend:) P.S. Love Alex's face while chopping wood!

But the biggest surprise of the trip? Our friends' sofas were draped in these faux fur throws from Restoration Hardware, and they were soft and luxurious. We spent the weekend cuddled in them, and when we returned home on Sunday night, we immediately ordered one. I'd highly recommend them...(Photos by our friends, who are actually the designers behind Pinhole Press. Thanks, Ashley and Stefan!)

being a native texan where our coldest days are usually in the low 50's, i'm a pretty big wuss about winter too. but there's something about being in the woods at wintertime drinking spiked cider or hot chocolate that nobody can say no to!

What a fun weekend! There's another fabulous faux fur throw at C. Wonder right now that I just purchased and I'm obsessed with it! It was originally $128 but is on sale for $98...and another 40% off that! Worth looking into if you want to add some more fur to your lives :)

What a lovely weekend! It is always nice to escape the city and enjoy something else for a weekend. My husband has been wanting a fur throw for ages, I'll have to check out the ones at Restoration Hardware. Have a great Tuesday!

What a great way to take advantage of the fun parts of winter :) I am quite weak when it comes to being cold. I'm psyching myself up to going skiing in a couple weeks (even though my favorite part of the day is leaving the slopes and stopping for pizza and beer...)

I didn't see snow until I was 21 (I was born and raised in Jacksonville, FL) and didn't really care for it either! It looks lovely to be cuddled up inside, but I'm awed by people who can run around outside in the freezing cold!

Two random comments: 1) You are a gorgeous pregnant lady! 2) I just received a faces/names board book that I ordered from Pinhole Press for my son's first birthday. It's so cool! Wanted to pass on a huge thank you to your friends. I love their site and am super happy with Griffin's book. :)

This is totally unrelated, but have you found any good sources for pretty maternity nightgowns/lingerie. I'd love to get something for Valentine's day. I'm due a few weeks after you with my second child as well.

Target also sells some throws.. only 25 bucks.. These are probably better quality but I have one from target that is super soft fur on one side and a luxurious velveteen on the back and I reach for it constantly from October through May!

Thank you for the faux fur throw source! I got one from pier 1 about a year ago and adored it but it really didn't last too well. I washed it on gentle cycle once and its kind of gross now! Out with the old and in with the new.

I have a faux fur throw that I use every single day in the winter! I'm in Ohio and it has been COLD lately (not today though... 60 degrees out!). I LOVE it!! My MIL gave it to us as a wedding gift and I thought it was so random and not my style, until I tried it. Instant convert! It's instantly snuggly and warm, and I am ALWAYS cold.

As it's 65 degrees here right now, the faux fur throw isn't appealing to me today...but ask me again in a few days when the high is going to be about 20, and I'm sure I'll be looking for one too! I decided to embrace winter more this year too, and found that I'm not as big of a wuss as I thought...in fact, I don't altogether hate winter...just driving in it. :-)

Check out the faux fur throws at Pottery Barn. They go on sale (1/2off!) once a year. My daughter who came home from school early because she doesn't feel well is sleeping on my bed with the "magic blankie" as we call it, right now. It's impossible not to have a wonderful nap with it.

Joanna - im reading a new book I think you would LOVE. Its by Nora Ephron... called "Heartburn." Its about a food critic whose seven months pregnant when she learns of her husband's affair... Recipes and satire ensue. Thought you'd like it!

I never owned anything but a fur coat when I was a little girl for our visits to my grandparents in Chicago, but since moving to Denmark we have loads of fur! I bought a similar throw in Sweden except it is fleece backed and everyone fights over it... time to get another one, I think! :-)
